I got function in Flash (Action Script 3) - that makes snowflakes falling. Now i want to make this snowflakes appear on screen only for 3 seconds. So I'm trying to use Timer class but i got problem:
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(3000, 1);
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, snowflakes);
myTimer.start();

Currently creating a game and having a problem with the enemy's shooting.Having a problem with a function which allows the enemys to periodically shoot at the ship. At the moment I have got one ship firing and the other 2 wont fire at all. I have done some edit's to the code and I have managed to make it so all 3 ships fire but there is no gap inbetween the bombs being fired (which eventually makes the game crash.)I have the variable defined at the top:
Code:
var bombTimer = 200;
This is the function:

We have one video application in this application an user can record a video of 30 seconds. Timer is not getting fire after 30 seconds only on one computer on other computers it's getting called except that computer. Frankly speaking we don't know about the computer configuration on which timer is not fired after 30 seconds. Can any body suggest us what's the problem? Where we are lagging?
We are considering this is due to older version of flash. Correct us if we are wrong. May be due to browser dont know what's the problem.
I'm currently doing a project which strictly relies on sharp timings and uses as3 timers...
But the timers make some problems..
Here's my code used to test the timers..
Select allvar milliTimer:Timer = new Timer(1);
var secondTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000);
secondTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, tickSecond);
milliTimer.start();
secondTimer.start();
function tickSecond(evt:TimerEvent):void{

The game is like Asteroids where four rocks are placed in the corners of the stage at the beginning and then start moving randomly around the stage. The problem is the timer used is started the moment that the flash file starts not the moment the player clicks the start button. So if you are on the start screen for 5 seconds before you click play when the game actually begins the rocks are where they would be after 5 seconds of play, which could be right over the player.

I am working on a very simple game in Flash. I want to make all the animations framerate agnostic, so that I can change the framerate without affecting the flow and speed of the game.I read somewhere that if you want to do that, you simply create a Timer object and attach an event listener to this timer.
What if I have many objects that have to listen to the same timer? See the code to understand what I am trying to do. At this stage nothing breaks, but the event does not fire.Here is the Main class, the one that runs on swf execution:
public class Main extends MovieClip {
private static var _stage:Stage;
private static var _timer:Timer;

What is the difference between Timer.stop() and Timer.reset() functions because it seems that the 2 functions do the same thing? I image Timer.stop() to stop the timer and when Timer.start() is called the timer starts from where it stopped. For example, if I have a 3 sec. timer (3000 ms). If I stop the timer after 2.5 sec. and start the timer again, I would expect the timer to expire/trip within .5 sec.
View 1 RepliesI have a ActionScript 3.0 project and I have a timer that is running on 1000 millisecond intervals. I would like to delay this timer for 1500 milliseconds perform an action and start the timer again after the delay. I thought I could do this easily, but I'm having trouble, would it be better to stop the timer and perform the action and then listen for the action to be completed to start the timer again?
View 1 RepliesIn my case, the timer I make doesn't reduce its time whenever a function is called. What code will I change or add in order to reduce the time in my timer? [code]At this point the timer.start(); is placed on a frame so that the timer starts as it enters the frame.

View 14 RepliesI'm just about to uninstall and reinstall at this point but I'm getting my install all screwed up trying to update Flash Pro CS5.5 to use Flash Player 11. I had it fine using the MXP provided in this adobe blog. Though that's 11.0 not 11.1. It did work however.
I downloaded the latest Flash Player / Debugger .exe and the latest SWC for 11.1 and now Stage3D is no longer being seen. Clearly I screwed something up. I uninstalled and reinstalled the MXP after deleting the FP11 XML and FP11 directory but it's not working anymore.
Is there a clear cut simple way to explain how to overlay the latest Flash Player for FPCS5.5? I used the AIR overlay instructions for 2.6 - 3.1 and it worked every time. Now I just need Flash Player overlay instructions. I'm very interested to start trying to Starling framework with Stage3D. I select FP11 to export and it tells me it can't find Stage3D.
I simply want to put a movie on my website. I have other flash movies on my site that work fine. I import the video for progressive view. Publish the .fla. I get a .swf and an .html. I upload the files to my website and NOTHING! I check them locally and they work fine. Then I publish them again and they no longer work locally.
Flash 8 publishes them by default to my desktop. But if I use the default paths in CS4 the files don't even publish...they are nowhere to be found even with a search of my HD. I took html code from my site that was working and just changed the .swf file name. that didn't work either.

I boot up Flash CS4 and all I see in the upper left corner are the three dots for Apple's Snow Leopard interface. Flash was working fine yesterday, then last evening, all I got were the three dots. The menus are there. They open, but they are acting flakey. I can open up a file, but none of the palettes or interface show up. The stage is located under Apple's menu bar at the 0,0 location of the monitor and unmovable.
I deleted the preference files from my user library and also a file called "Flash 10 mru". That didn't do a thing.
The only change I made yesterday was an upgrade Adobe supplied for Premiere.
I also upgraded to Snow Leopard over the old Leopard, rather than a clean install.
But Flash was working fine on it for a month before yesterday's three dots attack.
Flash CS3 works fine.
Flash CS4 works fine on my laptop with Snow Leopard.
This morning, I uninstalled the old and reinstalled a new copy. Really at a loss as to what to do.
I was thinking of doing a clean install of Snow Leopard on a new hd and starting over. Before I do all that, I was hoping there was an easier fix.

I have created a as3 log in script in flash cs5 that sends the username text and password text into two php variables. now everything works fine if i call navigateToURL (PhpURL,"_ blank");it returns with success , but the problem is that when i try to get to trace the output of the php file , it returns with a failure(even though i also call the above code at the same time and that returns success in my web browser). could it be a problem with cs5 , how would i go about viewing the trace() after i published it and put it on my local web sever.[code]
View 3 RepliesSo I made a flash that uses a preloader, then once finished loading mc1 should be visible and playing along with a couple buttons. It loads properly most of the time, but maybe 10% of the time mc2 loads instead of mc1, no buttons are visible, and mc2 isn't even playing (refreshing the browser makes everything work properly btw). Is there some way I can make it load properly 100% of the time?

View 6 RepliesI've googled a lot trying to find how to properly import and use .swc files in Flash CS 4, tried lots of different methods but none seem to work.
What I've done is:
1. Placed it in my "D:Program Files (x86)AdobeAdobe Flash CS4enConfigurationComponents" folder. It does however not show up in the component inspector.
2. Added it in Publishing Settings as a Library and External Library, still can't seem to use it.
I've also tried adding
"import org.osflash.signals;"
After each method but I receive the error
"1172: Definition org.osflash:signals could not be found."
So what I'm asking for is an easy way to get the .swc package working code-wise with all classes imported etc. The .swc file is as you may have guessed as3signals.
I have a form that loads from a request through a zip code widget from another page. THe widget populates two of the form fields immediately, on submit, on the new page.My problem is that I have a pretty complicated piece of flash on there as well that has ONE main issue.My flash is essentially a pie chart that lights up on mouseOver events and onClick events in the form check boxes.It works like it should except for the fact that on initially loading the page the javascript will not see the pre-populated check box and perform the corresponding highlighting action.This only happens in fields that are populated through the widgets, if a user checks the boxes it works fine as I have an onClick event handler attached to it.I wrote a preselect function that will determine if the field is preselected or not by a widget and then pass that on down the line to highlight it correctly (which it does as long as I have the alert functioning). Now, if I add an alert inside of the script (it doesn't matter where, as I've tried them in every function) it works like it suppose to and sees the fields that are populated immediately by the widget and highlights the corresponding field as it is suppose to.Why would an alert box be the only thing keeping this working. It is the simplest of alerts, but removing that breaks my code.Here is my code:(I placed three * on either side of the alert that I am talking about)
YAHOO.namespace("SOME.Place.QuoteRequest");

When I compile and publish my flash movie and put it in my xampp/htdocs folder and then run the movie from Firefox, it works just fine. However, every time I try and run it in the Flash IDE, the PHP script doesn't get compiled. Instead, the uncompiled code gets read in as the data, and so when I run trace(evt.target.data), it basically shows all the PHP code plus a bunch of other gobeldygook. If I remove out the line loader.dataFormat=URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;, it then just shows the PHP code as is.
My question is this: what do I have to do to make the IDE run the compiled PHP script instead of just loading in the raw code as is?

I recompiled a Flash 8 project in Flash CS3 recently and noticed that some of the sound effects sounded like a painful chippy mess. It sounded like the mp3 bitrate was at the lowest Flash outputs (16kbps). I compiled again, and all the problems went away. Then I compiled again and different sounds went chippy!Fine, whatever. Maybe it's a glitch between project versions.
This week I built a project from the ground up in Flash CS3 with AS 3.0 . The chippy compression is still there and happens most of the time. Both my global and local compression settings for sound clips are mp3, 160kbps, Stereo.

Ive been having trouble with Flash Player for quite some time now. I can watch some videos, but it takes some struggling to get them to work.
For example, on NFL.com, I can't watch any videos by clicking "Play", the video will just grey out and remain that way forever. However if I can find the video on the list underneath the player, sometimes when I click on the thumbnail the video starts automatically and I can watch it.
On Patriots.com things are a little worse. The player controls underneath the video don't load at all and I cant watch

gotoAndStop() doesn't work. I am using Flash CS3. My code is simple:
on(release) {
_root.gotoAndStop("menu");
}
I put that code into a button. The menu frame is three frames behind the frame that I put the button on. If I replace the "menu" with "game", it works. The game frame is one frame behind the frame the button is on. What happens is instead of going to the menu frame, it flickers to the menu frame, then reloads the lose frame, which is where the button is. I know that it reloads because I have a dynamic text field that throws a random insult when you enter that frame. I can assure you. I have already double checked and triple checked that the frame label is correct. And the menu frame has stop() in it. I'm not that stupid, alright?
I am having trouble with editing my flash template in flash cs4. When I try to play the fla file in the timeline it does not play everything in each layer. I have made no changes to the exisiting files in the template at all but there is only a partial background and some text playing.I have tried two other fla files from templates and they are the same.
View 1 RepliesI used the tutorial found here. The 3 frames of my button are in a movie clip, within a keyframe in the main timeline.
